Welcome to the Ben Greenfield thickness.com podcast.

We provide you with free exercise, nutrition, weight loss, triathlon, and wellness advice from the top thickness experts in the nation.

So whether you're an Iron Man triathlete or you're just trying to shed a few pounds, get ready for non-run-of-the-mill cutting-edge content from Ben Greenfield thickness.com.

That's right podcast listeners. Today's episode is a double interview super special. My first featured topic is going to be on barefoot running with a fellow named Talman Knudsen, who I mentioned last week is currently running barefoot across the country.

And I called him up and interviewed him live while he was running through Ohio and you're going to get to listen to that. We also have an interview with Dr. Cohen from Bioletics.

This will be Dr. Cohen's third appearance on the show and he's going to be talking about the powerful potential of essential fatty acids and how you can actually get those tested, what to do if you're deficient, and much more.

So you're not going to want to miss those featured topics. We have just a few brief special announcements today and then we also have a listener Q&A.

But before we go on to any of that, I do need to make you aware of a few small changes to the podcast over the next five to six weeks.

Basically, I am putting together for any of you triathlon listeners out there, a huge side project that's going to bring you a bunch of free tele seminars, phone conferences with triathlon coaches, with triathlon pros, with authors, not just conferences where you sit there and twitle your thumbs and listen, but live Q&A where you're going to be asking questions and a huge amount of interaction there.

It's going to be over at a website called rockstar triathlete.com. I'll put a link to that in the show notes, but I want to warn you listeners that based off of the amount of energy that I'm having to put into bringing those audios to you, this podcast is going to be limited just for the next few weeks to primarily Q&A to answering your questions on fitness, fat loss, nutrition, or human performance.

So make sure that you follow that link in the show notes to see why the podcast is going to be changing so much over the next six weeks. I thank you all for the support that you give for the rankings and iTunes and for you just listening in and I promise that this podcast is not going anywhere. Don't worry. It's just going to be a little bit shorter over the next few weeks.

So with that being said, let's go ahead and move on to this week's special announcements.

I am going to keep the special announcements pretty brief today just a few things to go over the first is that so many of you wrote in and liked that get fit or get fat 70 minute audio seminar that I put out last week and made available to you on the show notes.

I'm going to keep that up there and it's available for for four dollars. It's a professional seminar that I put on and the recording is available to you on the show notes. I'm going to leave that up for another week so you can go download that if you would like.

A couple other special announcements. This is probably the last week that you'll get an opportunity to go check this out but my quintessential healthy holiday gift guide is still up on the show notes for those of you who are last minute shoppers like me.

Another thing is that last week I got a few comments on the pictures of the gal that I put up who had just an amazing amount of fat loss over about a 63 day program that she went through with me.

I went ahead and made a video of her that you can watch and again it's pretty amazing to see the progress that she made in that video.

And then finally another special announcement for you triathletes out there that golden ticket to the official 2010 triathlon training camp is still available to anybody who gets their hands on the triathlon dominator package over at triathlondominator.com.

Now remember I am throwing together an all-inclusive triathlon training camp from January 18th through the 25th down in Austin, Texas.

I've got full details on that in the show notes. There is still opportunity and room for you to snag a ticket to Austin and get into that camp. It is going to be a blast and a far more all-inclusive than any camp experience you've ever had.

So check that out and you do get $97 towards that camp when you go over to triathlondominator.com.
